I love Pandoc. I don't often write "documents for office consumption" but when I do, I just write a markdown file and spit out docx or PDF. I was congratulated more than once on how coherent my documents are in their structure.

Plus, having a git history is a great boon.




It's also not too difficult to hook up a GH actions job to generate the documents with pandoc and spit them out directly into dropbox/sharepoint for "non-techie consumption". Great for semi-technical documentation that bis/sales/support people need to be in the loop on.


Oh that's a great idea! I wish I had pandoc in my university days--I ended up writing a lot of (non-technical) papers in latex just because I hated using word for the task.
